So you’ve just finished your Post-UTME screening at Confluence University of Science and Technology and now you’re sitting there, refreshing your browser, wondering — “Am I in?” You’re not alone. Thousands of candidates every session go through the same nerve-wracking wait. The good news? Checking your admission status through the CUSTECH admission portal is actually straightforward once you know exactly what to do.
This guide breaks it all down — from finding the right portal link, to logging in for the first time, to paying your acceptance fee and printing your admission letter. Whether you’re a UTME candidate, a Direct Entry applicant, or someone who just changed their first-choice institution to CUSTECH, you’ll find everything you need right here.
Let’s get into it.
What Is the CUSTECH Admission Portal?
The CUSTECH admission portal is an online platform managed by Confluence University of Science and Technology, Osara that allows candidates to check their admission status, download admission letters, pay acceptance fees, complete course registration, and carry out other essential academic activities.
But here’s where a lot of people get confused — there isn’t just one CUSTECH portal. There are actually multiple portals, each serving a different purpose. Using the wrong one can make you think you’ve completed a step when you actually haven’t.
The Two Official Portals You Must Know About
The first is the ePortal at eportal.custech.edu.ng. This is the main portal for admitted students. It’s where you check your admission status (after the list is uploaded), log in with your Student ID, download your admission letter, pay your acceptance fee, and complete your registration.
The second is the Application Portal at eportal.custech.edu.ng/utme/index.php. This is specifically for new applicants who are still filling out their Post-UTME screening form. If you’ve already done your screening and you’re waiting for admission, you don’t need this one anymore.
There’s also a Registration Portal at custech.ng, which handles biographical data registration and course management after you’ve been fully admitted.
Why There Are Two Separate Portals (And Which One to Use First)
The reason two portals exist is because CUSTECH uses JAMB’s Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) as the primary admission management system — which is mandatory for all Nigerian universities. So admission is first processed on JAMB’s end before it reflects fully on CUSTECH’s own ePortal.
That means your very first step when checking admission should always be JAMB CAPS. Once you’ve confirmed your status there and accepted the offer, you then move to CUSTECH’s ePortal to complete the remaining steps.
CUSTECH Admission Portal Link — The Official URLs
Before anything else, bookmark these. A lot of scam sites impersonate CUSTECH’s portal, and you don’t want to end up on one.
CUSTECH ePortal (for Admitted Students)
The official ePortal link is: http://eportal.custech.edu.ng
This is where admitted students do everything from checking their status to downloading documents and paying fees. If someone sends you a different link claiming to be the CUSTECH portal, don’t use it.
CUSTECH Application Portal (for New Applicants)
For candidates registering for Post-UTME screening, the application link is: https://eportal.custech.edu.ng/utme/index.php
All enquiries about the application process can be directed to admissions@custech.edu.ng or by calling 07038620264.
CUSTECH Registration Portal
After admission is confirmed and acceptance fee is paid, some registration activities are handled at: http://www.custech.ng
This portal covers biographical data registration and course management.
Who Can Use the CUSTECH Admission Portal?
UTME Candidates
If you sat for JAMB UTME, selected CUSTECH as your institution (or changed to CUSTECH before the deadline), participated in the Post-UTME screening, and scored a minimum of 140 in your UTME, then you’re eligible to check your status on both the JAMB CAPS platform and the CUSTECH ePortal.
Direct Entry (DE) Candidates
Direct Entry candidates are also processed through both JAMB and the CUSTECH portal. DE candidates must have uploaded their O’Level results on the JAMB portal and registered for the Post-UTME/DE screening (which also costs ₦2,000). The admission list for DE candidates is typically published alongside the UTME list.
Candidates Who Changed Their Institution to CUSTECH
If you originally picked another school but later decided to switch to CUSTECH, you must have effected that change on the JAMB portal before the deadline. Candidates who did this successfully will appear in the CUSTECH admission processing system once they meet all other requirements.
How to Check Your CUSTECH Admission Status on the ePortal (Step-by-Step)
What You’ll Need Before You Start
Before you open the portal, have these ready:
- Your JAMB UTME Registration Number
- One of your names (as registered with JAMB)
- A working internet connection
- A browser (Chrome or Firefox works best — avoid outdated browsers)
Step-by-Step: Checking Admission Status on eportal.custech.edu.ng
Follow these steps carefully:
- Open your browser and go to http://eportal.custech.edu.ng
- On the homepage, look for the link that says “Check Admission Status Here” — click on it
- A new page will appear asking for your UTME registration number and one of your names
- Type in your JAMB registration number in the first field
- Enter one of your names (first name or surname — whichever is registered with JAMB)
- Click the “Check Status” button
- Your admission status will be displayed on the screen
What the Different Status Messages Mean
- “Admitted” — Congratulations! You’ve been offered admission. Proceed to accept on JAMB CAPS, then return to the ePortal to continue
- “Not Admitted” — Your name wasn’t found on this batch’s list. Don’t panic. The list is released in batches (1st, 2nd, 3rd), so check back after each release
- “Not Found” — Double-check your UTME registration number. A single digit error will produce this result
How to Check CUSTECH Admission Status on JAMB CAPS (Alternative Method)
Even if you’ve already checked on the CUSTECH portal, you still need to do this on JAMB CAPS — because that’s where you officially accept or reject the admission offer. Skipping this step means your admission remains provisional and will eventually lapse.
Step-by-Step: Using JAMB e-Facility Portal
- Go to https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng
- Log in with the email address and password you used during JAMB registration
- Once logged in, scroll down and click “Check Admission Status”
- Select your examination year and enter your JAMB registration number
- Click “Check Admission Status” again
- Your status will appear — either “Congratulations”, “Admission in Progress”, or “Not Admitted”
- If you also want to use CAPS directly, click “Access my CAPS” from the dashboard
- Inside CAPS, click “Admission Status” to view your details
What to Do When You See “CONGRATULATIONS”
This is the moment you’ve been waiting for. Once you see this message, don’t just stare at the screen — take action immediately.
- Click the “Accept Admission” button (if you’re happy with the offer)
- Do not click “Reject” unless you genuinely don’t want this admission — this action is irreversible
- After accepting, proceed to the CUSTECH ePortal to complete the next steps
What to Do When You See “Admission in Progress” or “Not Admitted”
If it says “Admission in Progress”, your name isn’t on the current batch but the process is still ongoing. Keep checking the JAMB portal and CUSTECH’s official website regularly. New batches are released periodically.
If it says “Not Admitted”, check whether you met all the requirements — minimum UTME score, correct O’Level credits, relevant subject combinations. You can contact the CUSTECH admissions office about supplementary admission opportunities.
How to Log In to the CUSTECH ePortal for the First Time
A lot of newly admitted students hit a wall here because they don’t know their Student ID or portal password yet. Here’s exactly how to get them.
How to Get Your CUSTECH Student ID
After the admission list is released, CUSTECH uploads a link titled “Admission Status and Registration Procedure” on the ePortal homepage. Click that link and follow the instructions — it’ll allow you to retrieve your assigned Student ID.
How to Request Your Portal Password
- Go to eportal.custech.edu.ng
- Click the link that says “Request for New Password”
- Enter your Student ID in the field provided
- Click “Request for Password”
- A page will appear showing the university email address created for you
How to Access Your CUSTECH University Email
Your university will create an email address for you in the format: yourname@custech.edu.ng
To access it:
- Visit custech.edu.ng and click the email link in the top-right corner of the website, OR
- Go directly to gmail.com and log in with your full university email
- Your default password is your JAMB Registration Number
- The system will immediately prompt you to change this password — do it and save it somewhere safe
- Check your inbox for an email containing your ePortal password
Once you have your password, return to the ePortal and log in using your Student ID and the password from your university email.
How to Pay the CUSTECH Acceptance Fee on the Portal
This is one of the most critical steps after you see your name on the list. Don’t delay it.
Acceptance Fee Deadline You Must Not Miss
You have exactly two (2) weeks from the date you receive your admission letter to pay the acceptance fee. Miss this window and you could lose your admission offer entirely. All registrations — including school fees — must be completed within four (4) weeks of receiving the admission letter.
Step-by-Step Payment Guide via the ePortal
- Log in to eportal.custech.edu.ng with your Student ID and password
- Navigate to the payment section on your dashboard
- Select “Acceptance Fee” from the payment options
- Click on the acceptance fee link to generate a Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) or payment invoice
- Choose your preferred payment method — either online payment or bank payment
- Complete the payment
- After payment, return to the portal and verify the transaction
- A receipt will be generated automatically — download it and print it. You’ll need it for documentation
Fraud Warning — Protect Yourself from Scammers
This is very important. CUSTECH has officially warned that fraudulent individuals have been impersonating university officials and demanding payment of school fees into personal bank accounts.
Here’s what you must always remember:
- All payments must be made ONLY through the official CUSTECH payment gateway on the ePortal
- The only valid account name is: CONFLUENCE UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, OSARA
- Never pay into any personal account — no matter who asks
- When in doubt, call the official admissions line: 09023551052 or email admission@custech.edu.ng
What Comes After Acceptance Fee Payment?
Once you’ve paid the acceptance fee and verified the transaction on the portal, you’re not done yet. There are still a few important steps to complete.
Downloading and Printing Your CUSTECH Admission Letter
Log in to your ePortal account and click on the “Admission” link from your dashboard. From there, you can download and print your official admission letter. You’ll also be prompted to update your personal records and upload a passport photograph and signature at this stage.
Documents to Submit to the Registry
After completing your online registration, you must physically submit the following items to the Registry Department:
- Printed copy of your CUSTECH admission letter (from the university’s website)
- Printed copy of your JAMB admission letter (from the JAMB website)
- UTME result slip
- O’Level result certificate(s) or online printouts from WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB
- O’Level result scratch card for online verification
- Birth certificate or statutory declaration of age
- Two recent passport photographs
- All online payment receipts for prescribed charges
- Certificate of confirmation as an indigene of your Local Government Council
Course Registration and Medical Form Completion
After acceptance fee clearance is confirmed on the portal, you’ll need to open and complete both your medical form and your course registration form online. These are accessible directly from your ePortal dashboard.
How Your Matriculation Number Gets Generated
Here’s something many students don’t know — your matriculation number isn’t assigned manually. Once your registration fee payment is successfully processed on the ePortal, the system will automatically generate your matriculation number. That’s how you know your registration is officially complete.
Common CUSTECH Portal Problems and How to Fix Them
Can’t Find Your Name on the Portal?
First, don’t panic. Double-check that you entered your JAMB registration number correctly — no spaces, no extra digits. Also confirm you’re using the right name field (try your first name, then try your surname separately). If you’re certain the details are correct and your name still doesn’t appear, it’s possible your batch hasn’t been released yet. CUSTECH releases its admission list in multiple batches, so keep checking periodically.
Forgot Your Student ID or Password?
If you’ve forgotten your Student ID, return to the “Admission Status and Registration Procedure” link on the ePortal homepage to retrieve it. If you’ve forgotten your password, use the “Request for New Password” link, enter your Student ID, and follow the email verification steps described earlier.
Portal Not Loading or Showing Errors?
Try these fixes:
- Switch to a different browser (Chrome tends to work best)
- Clear your browser cache and cookies
- Try switching from mobile data to Wi-Fi, or vice versa
- For JAMB CAPS specifically, try enabling “Desktop site” mode on your mobile browser — this fixes a known display issue
- If the issue persists, contact the admissions office directly
CUSTECH Admission Portal FAQ
What is the official CUSTECH admission portal link? The official ePortal for admitted students is http://eportal.custech.edu.ng. This is where you check admission status, log in, pay fees, and download documents. Always verify you’re on this exact URL before entering any personal information.
Is the CUSTECH admission portal the same as JAMB CAPS? No, they’re different platforms. JAMB CAPS (accessed via efacility.jamb.gov.ng) is JAMB’s system where you officially accept or reject an admission offer. The CUSTECH ePortal is the university’s own system where you complete registration, pay fees, and access academic documents. You need to use both.
What’s the minimum UTME score to be considered for CUSTECH admission? Candidates must have scored a minimum of 140 in the UTME. You must also have at least five credit passes in relevant O’Level subjects, including English Language and Mathematics. Make sure your O’Level results are uploaded on the JAMB portal before the admission exercise closes.
How long do I have to pay the CUSTECH acceptance fee? You have two weeks from the date you receive your admission letter to pay the acceptance fee. All other registrations, including school fees, must be completed within four weeks. Missing these deadlines could result in losing your admission.
What do I do if my name is not on the CUSTECH admission list? First, check your details carefully on both the CUSTECH ePortal and JAMB CAPS. If you’re genuinely not on the list, the admission process typically runs in multiple batches, so your name might appear in a later release. You can also contact the CUSTECH admissions office to ask about supplementary admission opportunities.
Can Direct Entry candidates check admission on the CUSTECH portal? Yes. Direct Entry candidates are processed through both JAMB CAPS and the CUSTECH ePortal, just like UTME candidates. Make sure your DE results were uploaded on the JAMB portal and that you registered for the Post-UTME/DE screening before the deadline.
How do I print my CUSTECH admission letter from the portal? Log in to your ePortal account at eportal.custech.edu.ng using your Student ID and password. Click the “Admission” link on your dashboard. From there, you can download and print your admission letter. You’ll need both this copy and the one printed from the JAMB website for document submission.
What do I do after accepting admission on JAMB CAPS? After accepting on CAPS, move immediately to the CUSTECH ePortal. Log in, retrieve your Student ID, set up your portal password via your university email, pay the acceptance fee within two weeks, download your admission letter, complete your medical and course registration forms online, and submit the required physical documents to the Registry.
